Stephen was an awesome person. We went to school together since elementary school and there is not one bad thing I can say about him. This is a hard loss for not only me as an old friend but to his Capitol High family as well. My prayers are with his family through this amazingly tough time. Stephen is now reunited with Louis.. I will always remember them both for who I knew them to be.. Rest in Peace Stephen.. Love you brother...

I dont know where to start, these past days have been crazy, my heart hurts for you and your family. We always talked about our families and the goals we wanted to accomplish. Whenever we saw each other we couldnt do anything but laugh, you were a great person, wonderful spirit and you were all about your family. Im going to miss you, its crazy how you can only know someone for a short period of time and feel like weve known each other for ever. May you rest on my brother and may you watch over your family, because I know how much they meant to you and i know you will always be with them. It truly was an honor knowing you, Im sorry that your life ended, you had more to offer and you wanted to accomplish more for your family. To his wife and kids, Stephen loved you all, he would light up when I would ask him how was his family. He wanted to open a business and have something that he could leave them, and I promise that he thought about you all to the end. Much love you all.
